2018 Delas Frères Condrieu La Galopine
3/30/2024 - Bottle Dog Likes this wine: 93 Points
Pale golden/yellow. On second day after opening. The nose is tropical fruits and marshmallows. Pineapples and mango. Medium in body, and somewhat surprisingly acidic. The palate introduces some more tertiary elements, as well as some level of minerality although the fruit is forefront. Feels like now is a good time to be drinking this.

2012 Marqués de Murrieta Rioja Limited Edition Gran Reserva Finca Ygay

Ruby red with slight browning tinge on edges. Nose is big and peppery with dark fruits such as plums and blackberries. Still tastes young to but very drinkable. Lots of acidity, soft on tannins, nice fruit forward. Long finish that begs for something to eat with it. Very good wine, with more upside. With a 90 minute decant - go more next time.

2016 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia

Three hour decant. Medium ruby red. Gorgeous nose of dark cherries and blackberries. Nice and woodsy, with faint mushrooms. Tannins are robust whils silky smooth. No secondary notes to speak of, but delightful fruit.
Medium body lingers forever. Enjoyable now, but best to wait as too yong by years - give it to 2028 at least.
